Lake Bled

Lake Bled is extraordinarily beautiful! With Bled Castle towering over the lake and the pilgrimage church located on idyllic Bled island, all with the back drop of the Julian Alps, there are few other places in Europe of such natural unspoiled beauty.Bled is 50kms from Ljubljana city and although it is very expensive ( 23+ euros for a dormitory bed) we figured that it is definitely worth the visit! So here is how it will work.

Booking BledWhen you arrive in Hostel Vrba, count up the numbers of PeaceWalkers and tell Urska (the manager of Vrba). She will organise that Roundabout Tours will come the next morning, to collect you, and take you on your Day Trip to:Lake Bled – Bled Castle – Vintgar Gorge – A swim in Bohinj Lake – Skofja Loka town.All this, including the pick up and drop off for 46euros !So for example:You arrive in Ljubljana on a Tuesday morning.You go to Hostel Vrba, check-in, and they will count the numbers for Bled.You explore Ljubljana all day and night Tuesday.———————————–Wednesday you are picked up at 8:30am from Vrba HostelYou spend the whole dayseeing all of the beauty of Bled and surroundings.You arrive back in Ljubljana @ about 6pm and again sleep in Hostel Vrba, Ljubljana—————————–Thursday morning, you are back on the road, Peacewalking.A soft day of 23 Kms ahead.
